About The Orchard Project

Orchard is a free, open source, community-focused project aimed at delivering applications and reusable components on the ASP.NET platform. It will create shared components for building ASP.NET applications and extensions, and specific applications that leverage
these components to meet the needs of end-users, scripters, and developers. Additionally, we seek to create partnerships with existing application authors to help them achieve their goals. Orchard is delivered as part of the
ASP.NET Open Source Gallery under the
Outercurve Foundation. It is licensed under a
New BSD license, which is approved by the OSI. The intended output of the Orchard project is three-fold:

A set of re-usable components that makes it easy to build such applications

A vibrant community to help define these applications and extensions

In the near term, the Orchard project is focused on delivering a .NET-based CMS application that will allow users to rapidly create content-driven Websites, and an extensibility framework that will allow developers and customizers to provide additional functionality
through modules and themes. You can learn more about the project on the
Orchard Project Website.

Project Status

Orchard is currently in version 1.8.1. We invite participation by the developer community in shaping the project’s direction, so that we can publicly validate our designs and development approach.
Our 1.8.1 release is available from our Downloads page, and is easy to
Install Orchard using the Web Platform Installer. We encourage interested developers to check out the source code on the Orchard CodePlex.com site and get involved with the project.

How To Get Involved

We hope that by engaging with the community in the very early stages of the project that we will be able to shape Orchard into a valuable set of tools and applications for the community. The Orchard team is committed to open community participation and accepts
code contributions today. We encourage community participation at all levels from general project feedback to bug fixes and patches.
